ecosystems

Living organisms cannot live isolated from their non-living environment. Living and the non-living environment interact with each other to form a stable system. A natural self-sufficient unit of the world comprising a biotic community (living organisms) and its abiotic physico-chemical environment..

Components of an Ecosystem - (Organisation or Structural aspect of an ecosystem) An ecosystem comprises of two basic components i) Abiotic components and ii) Biotic components The relationship between the biotic components and abiotic components of an ecosystem..

Ecosystem - Definition - An ecosystem can be defined as 'a structural and functional unit of biosphere or segment of nature consisting of community of living beings and the physical environment, both interacting and exchanging materials between them'. E. P. Odum, an American eco..

There are two types of ecosystems..

Components of the Ecosystem - The environment in which the man and other organisms live is called the biosphere. The biosphere is made up of different regions that have different types of flora (plants) and fauna (animals). The types of organisms in an area are determined by various facto..

Although matter circulates, energy cannot be reused indefinitely. Solar energy is converted by the photosynthetic producers (plants) into chemical energy in the form of plant carbohydrates. Herbivores consume the plant carbohydrates and so this chemical energy is transferred to them. Carnivor..

These include the non-living, physico - chemical factors such as air, water, soil and the basic elements and compounds of the environmen..

The characteristic structure of an ecosystem is obtained by the systematic physical organisation of the abiotic and biotic components of that particular ecosystem..
